Description

The ATLAS Collaboration has recently, for the first time, released a large volume of data for use in research publications. The entire 2015 and 2016 proton collision dataset has been made public, along with a large quantity of matching simulated data, in a light format, PHYSLITE, which is also used internally for ATLAS analysis. In order to allow detailed analyses of these data, all the corresponding software has been made public, along with extensive documentation targeting several different levels of users, from those who are new to particle physics to experienced researchers that need only an introduction to the ATLAS-specific details of the data. This contribution describes the data, the corresponding metadata and software, and the documentation of the open data, along with the first interactions with non-ATLAS researchers.
